Michael Hutchins, national coordinator of the conservancy's wind energy campaign gave an estimate from a study in the Wildlife Society Bulletin, estimating that "573,000 birds and 888,000 bats are killed every year by wind farms." That is unacceptable to the People, and inexcusable if we are to maintain wild bird life, including eagles and bats. In addition, "Our basic feeling is, wind energy, yes. But it ought to be done right," Hutchins said. The People agree. (retrieved from: http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-wind-bald-eagles-20131207,0,48217.st...)
